Vibrant: A Life Worth LivingSample

We were never placed on planet earth to live separate and apart from others; the plan of the Father, from the garden of Eden forward, was for us, as His dear children, to discover the satisfaction and wonder of human relationships. It is in partnering with others in the family, in the church, or in the workplace that we explore the healthy kinship that was meant to enlarge us.

If there is one location that the enemy diligently endeavors to saturate with grief, rejection, and annoyance, it is in human relationships. And if there is one place that the Lord desires to bless with fulfillment, contentment, and unconditional love, it is in human relationships.

We belong to each other and we should treat one another as we desire to be treated ourselves. I have realized over the course of my life that my goal is to speak to other people the way that I want people to speak to my children. I do hope that people will tell my children the truth, but I want them to be both wise and kind in their honest approach.

God desires for His children to be healthy emotionally and the only way for this to happen is if you choose to forgive the one who caused your anger quickly, thoroughly, and before the next day dawns.

The Father knows what kind of long-term damage anger can do to your heart. He always knows best and He’s begging you to let it go.

The father of lies will deceive you into believing that you have a right to be angry. But you, my vibrant friend, do not have the right to embrace anger as a lifelong companion. You, who have been forgiven of much, must become an expert at forgiveness. 

The devil is prowling around looking for some unsuspecting yet angry Christian to devour in the darkness of the night. That’s the enemy’s favorite time to pounce on us and that is the very reason why the Holy Spirit has advised us not to let the sun go down on our anger. The Father is inviting you today to live an anger-free life that is at once glorious and fruitful! We serve a loving God who leads by example and has forgiven you of your sins quickly and completely. The noble and remarkable life of your dreams is generously available with your choice to forgive.
